Sunshine

I wasn't wasting it, the sunshine, and I set out to enjoy it all day, soak it in and take it all home with me. Selfish...no, there was plenty to go around, and I shared mine with my guy besides; I needed it though, the warmth, the way it reaches in and touches my heart and soul, and I needed a day to spend in the garden, walking, sitting, and laying under the sun with my guy.

The air was cool, it's that time of year, however that sunshine had other ideas and as we wandered it began to soak right into parts of me that have felt winters chill and...I welcomed it, and the carefree moments spent in the gardens with nature and my guy.

He's away now, not forever of course, just for a little while, and I'm going to miss him but it's one of those has to be done things and it's not in him to send someone else to do what is his responsibility to do. I love that about him, but it means time spent alone sometimes, like now; I have my mum here of course, but you know what I mean, alone without my guy.

We had lunch in the gardens on Sunday, French baguettes, coffee and we split a pastry afterwards. We ate on deep green grass surrounded by flowers and trees, bathed in sunshine and under the bluest sky we'd seen for a little while. After, we laid there in silence and let nature soak in. I fell asleep, a hazard of me laying in the sun.

Sunday was a farewell of sorts, a day to be together, talk through the last details of the situation and to enjoy some time relaxing. Now he's gone, but thoughts of him will warm me, as did the sunshine on the weekend. Here's three tracks about sunshine I love, I selected them today as they remind me of last Sunday.
